Affordability Improves, But Buyers Remain Cautious
The Fraser Valley housing market continued to favour buyers throughout June, with benchmark prices now sitting 26 per cent below their 2022 peak. Despite this improving affordability, many buyers remain on the sidelines, extending the window of opportunity for those who are financially prepared to make a move.
The Fraser Valley saw 1,147 sales in June, up 2.0% from May but down 4.0% compared to June 2025. Active inventory climbed to 10,377 homes, keeping buyers well-supplied with choice as the market heads into summer.
Continuing the softer pricing trend we've seen through much of 2026, benchmark prices across all property types declined 0.9% month-over-month to $884,800, a decrease of 7.1% compared to June 2025.
With a sales-to-active listings ratio of 11 per cent in June, the Fraser Valley remains in buyer's market territory. A balanced market is typically defined by a ratio between 12 and 20 per cent.
